For where there is one, there is always three. I preparest my aircraft to receive the Iron that will be delivered in the presence of my enemies. Thy ALCM and JDAM they comfort me. Power was given unto the aircrew to make peace upon the world by way of the sword. And when the call went out, Behold the "Sword of Stealth". And his name was Death. And Hell followed him. For the day of wrath has come and no mercy shall be given."

Ghostmaker Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 (edited) Think thats where i copied it to, ill have a look. Does it matter if i drag it v's copying it? Also think i went C drive, programes, eagle dynamics, user, dcsworld open beta, aircraft. Thats off the top of my head Edited January 1, 2024 by Ghostmaker
Timex3 Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 Hi, just curious and wondering if the Hurc creator will update the Hurc Mod for DCS Version 2.9? Thanks, Timex 3 2
MAXsenna Posted January 1, 2024 Posted January 1, 2024 Hi, just curious and wondering if the Hurc creator will update the Hurc Mod for DCS Version 2.9? Thanks, Timex 3Probably not, (why would they), as they are making a full official 3rd party module. IE. No more updates for the MB-339 when it was going to be a full official module.Cheers!

If that works you can go back and find where you put the Hercules ver 6.8.2 directory originally and delete it. It's a free 3rd party Mod, not an aircraft (per se) so it needs to go to Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft\ directory.

Some updates might actually stir up more interest in a future PURCHASE for some people on the fence about it's value in the SIM. Eye candy screenshots aren't very convincing me in our digital world anymore, I'd prefer some functionality for known significant issues. Just an opinion...

AvgWhiteGuy Posted January 2, 2024 Posted January 2, 2024 It looks like you have no MODs at all right now, and that shouldn't be a problem. I'm no expert but create a \mods folder inside \DCS.OpenBeta, then create a \aircraft folder inside \mods. Then copy/paste your ZIP into \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft and unzip it. 1 Asus B85 Pro Gamer - 32GB - Intel® Core i5-4460 CPU - SanDisk SDSSDXPS480G -Windows 10 Pro 64-bit - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 TrackIR5 - TM Warthog HOTAS Stick & Throttle - TM Cougar MFCDs - TM TPR Rudder Pedals - Razer Orbweaver - SoundBlasterX G5 DAC
Ghostmaker Posted January 2, 2024 Posted January 2, 2024 Theres a mods folder inside the c drive directry and aircraft in there which is where ive put them but im having no joy
Yurgon Posted January 2, 2024 Posted January 2, 2024 1 hour ago, Ghostmaker said: Theres a mods folder inside the c drive directry and aircraft in there which is where ive put them but im having no joy Don't put it there. That's the DCS installation directory, and user mods cannot run from this location. You'll only get an "authorization invalid" error message when you try this. 4 hours ago, Ghostmaker said: I dont have a mod folder in saved games that isnt on the c:\ drive. The path from your screenshot is slightly wrong, Like AvgWhiteGuy says, just create a new folder "mods" there. Your wrong path: C:\Users\aron\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Aircraft The correct path: C:\Users\aron\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\mods\aircraft\ Then inside of that, extract the C-130 mods in its own subfolder so that it looks something like this: 1
Ghostmaker Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 Sorry for the delayed respinse. Ill try this in the morning and keep you posted
Ghostmaker Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 (edited) Ok a little update .. i must be doing something wrong still as none of these are still working. I added a new "Mods" folder and within the mods folder i added "Aircraft" folder and extracted the files into Aircraft. I also extraced the helmet folder into mods. Should these new aircraft show in instant action? help.... See attAched Edited January 4, 2024 by Ghostmaker

Art-J Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 (edited) Never used either of these mods, so I don't know where the helmet pack should be extracted, but your folder tree for the Hercules mod appears to be correct. I've just downloaded it - screen below shows what you should see in Instant action menu now, with Caucasus missions as an example. If you can't see them, I suspect you either might have some mod trash/leftovers still kept in your main DCS folder (perform a repair & cleanup then), or one of the other mods, probably outdated, causes problems. The only way to tell is to remove all mods from Saved Games and test them again one by one. Trial and error method.

Ghostmaker Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 Ah balls. Lol. Never had to do a clean up or repair. Would deleting anything to do with the herc work if i was t look in the other folders? Or delete and re download them

Ghostmaker Posted January 4, 2024 Posted January 4, 2024 Do you mean at the bottom of the page where you can click to have screen saver?
